    Hi.

    I´m getting a good CTR from my Link Blocks but the cost per click is as low as 3 cents.

    I think there´s a lot of MFA sites appearing whien the visitors click on the links.

    But I don´t know which sites come up when one click the ad´s because I don´t click on them for not to violate google´s TOS.

    May I click on the LINKS and NOT in the ads?

    Or clicking on the LINKS is against TOS too?

    How will I know which ads comes up when people click in the links without clicking on it?

    It takes two clicks to be paid from link units so it's ok to click once to see what ads show up.

    The best thing is asking to the big G, they will give you the appropiate answer.

    I Got the aswer from the BIG G.

    It´s in portuguese, but i´ll translate it:

    "Posso clicar nos Links de anúncios do meu site?

    Os editores do AdSense podem clicar nos tópicos dos Blocos de links das suas páginas, desde que não cliquem nos anúncios Google na página resultante. É proibido clicar nos próprios anúncios, pois isso pode causar um aumento nos custos dos anunciantes.

    Entretanto, é recomendável que você não clique nos tópicos dos blocos de links que aparecem no seu site, já que isso pode aumentar incorretamente as impressões e prejudicar as estatísticas dos seus relatórios."


    Can I click on the link units on my site?

    AdSense publishers are permitted to click on link unit topics on their web pages, provided that they do not click on any Google ads on the resulting page. Clicking on the ads themselves is prohibited, as it has the potential to inflate advertiser costs.

    However, you may still prefer not to click on the link unit topics that appear on your site, as clicking on these links has the potential to inaccurately inflate impressions and affect your reporting metrics.

    So, I think I´ll print it !!!

    Then it looks like there is no problem to see what happens when someone clicks in the link.

    Maybe useful to block ads, or we can not control what is displayed in the page destination of the link?
